Initial site configuration is about done. Anyone can register for an account, but they have to verify their email address to activate it. Authenticated users get a few extra features (like advanced searching and views).

The admin can assign any user to be an artist. Artists get more goodies:

•  their own blog
• ability to upload audios for people to hear (but not download)
• additional features

The ecommerce section will come after we get the site structure completed (categories, navigation, etc.)
